Here is an EXCEL Spreadsheet

I was very intrigued by the DeLorme Challenge when I saw it but I probably will never get to log it.

When I saw what TAT had done with filters for GSAK it got my mind going to see what areas that I had gotten done. I worked on an EXCEL spreadsheet that can be used to find what index sheet they are in. It can accept data from a GSAK .csv file as input. If you enter all the Maine caches it provides insight into how many caches are in each index. If you just enter your “found” caches you will know where you have to go yet.

TAT has been a great help and has agreed to host the spreadsheet in an area where all can view it and download it to use. BE FORWARNED IT IS A 7 Mb file and will take some time if you are on dial-up. The data in the file now is from a Pocket Query run on 06/05/06 and includes 1205 caches that are active or unavailable. No archived caches.

Where do you guys come up with stuff. This is awesome. Thanks so much. I feel pretty lucky that I have already got some of the harder maps complete. I will be interested to see how many I have. I will play with that spread sheet and my cache page and see how many I have left.

Wow!!!

Cheryl and I are enjoying all of the buzz going on here. You folks certianly have shown your creativeness on creating something to solve your cache finds in each index page. I give all of you an A+. I was afraid no one would like the challenge but I think I was wrong....

The two biggest challenges are going to be getting enough time off from work to make the long drives north, and that nasty gas card bill at the end of the month
Planning this one has gotten the thinking cap working hard, thanks for the challenge.
